Simon Betschinger accused Professor Karl Lauterbach of wanting to explain to the German petty bourgeoisie that Tesla poses no threat to Volkswagen. As a counterargument, Betschinger pointed out that the world's best-selling electric car in 2025 was the Tesla Model Y, with around 1,085,521 units sold. He described the situation as grotesque and wrote that the German industry had been left behind because the state had created bureaucratic structures that stifled entrepreneurship. He also mentioned German envy and a loss of touch with reality. #Tesla #Volkswagen #Deutschland (translated)
